Cowboys Sideline Reporter’s Travel Diary: A Special Night for the Team at Freedom Tower’s One World Observatory

--Kristi Scales

Ten road trips a year are among the biggest perks of broadcasting NFL games. Some people don’t like business travel or find it tedious to make trips that are quick turnarounds, but Cowboys road trips are among my favorite parts of the job.

During the 2015 season, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett deviated from the team’s normal travel routine to provide an extra special experience for players and coaches (and a couple of lucky long-time broadcasters, including myself). For the game at the New York Giants in October, we left a day early so the team could spend Friday evening touring the 9/11 Memorial and attending a private team dinner party inside Freedom Tower.

It was a high-brow evening, to be sure. All the players and coaches were dressed in suits & ties. The team’s hotel is in Jersey City, so upon arrival on Friday evening at Newark Airport we took a bus to

We are hosting some very cool football trips coming up in the fall. We love football and for the past 15 years we have hosted great football trips for fans all over the USA. Here are some of our coolest football trips we have running this season!

Arlington, Texas:
The original Cowboys Football Package is back again and better than ever. We stay in hotels close to AT&T Stadium and our VIP Tailgate Party right across the street from the stadium. Inside our big tent is a non-stop party with a new menu of food this year - the Texas BBQ will be there along with some other chef favorites. Our DJ will be cranking the tunes and we WILL be dancing. Former Cowboys player Bill Bates will be back again to sign autographs and take pictures. View our YouTube Videowith last year's highlights!

I love London and I love the Dallas Cowboys so when the opportunity came to host this years NFL International Series in London when the Dallas Cowboys play the Jacksonville Jaguars in November I was in!

I’ve hosted tours all over the world during the past 14 years at Sports Traveler and this trip is one that I am really looking forward to.

From Westminster Abbey to Big Ben to St. Paul’s Cathedral, the city is filled with history and amazing architecture at every turn. I love the fish and chips and taking a walk on the River Thames. I love the cool air on my face. And then there is the game at the incredible Wembley Stadium. I can hardly wait to show you everything while we are in this amazing city!

On November 6^th, we’ll start out at Heathrow Airport where our guides will meet and greet you after your arrival and transfer you to our host hotel. We will be staying at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, located right in the heart of everything you’ll want to see in the city center.

The biggest sports day in the country has come and passed.  The Super Bowl is now over and the Seattle Seahawks are the champions of the NFL.  Hard to think that this journey has come to an end but we are finally here.

Like any NFL season, there were highs and lows for all teams but only one could come away with the Lombardi trophy.  Yesterday we all got together to watch this spectacle and today we say good bye to the 2013-14 football season.

The fans in Seattle will ride this wave for the next couple of weeks as the city and team celebrate the first Super Bowl win in franchise history.  The rest of us have to settle with draft analysis and off-season expectations.

What a Finish!

It was quite a season this year that ended on a very surprising note.

Its official, the Dallas Cowboys will play a game in London during the 2014 NFL season.  It was announced by commissioner Roger Goodell on October 24th while he was actually in the city of London.

Although we don' t know that date, we do know who the opponent will be.  The Cowboys will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars next season as a part of the NFL International Series that was expanded to included 3 games in 2014.

The games will be as follows:

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Dallas Cowboys
Atlanta Falcons vs. Detroit Lions
Miami Dolphins vs. Oakland Raiders

London Jaguars?

He’s already a 4-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl winner, and future Hall of Famer.  But Peyton Manning is having his best statistical season, so far, in 2013.  The Broncos are undefeated at 4-0 and Manning has thrown 16 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, and has a passer rating of 138.0.   Manning has completed an astounding 75% of his passes (117 of 156).

For the 2-2 Cowboys, Tony Romo is also having an excellent statistical season, especially when it comes to completion percentage, a career-high 72.4% (110 of 152).

Comparing Romo to Manning in regard to completion percentage, you could say it’s a dead-heat.  But there’s a big discrepancy if you look beyond that single stat line.  The true comparison comes when you look at the ‘average yards per attempt’.

Yes, Romo is completing over 72% of his passes, but the average yards-per-attempt is 6.7.  Manning’s yards-per-attempt is 9.4.   If you break it down even further to yards-per-completion, Manning’s number is even more impressive:  12.6.

In other words, Manning is averaging nearly 13 yards every time he completes a pass.  Romo is averaging 9.2.

Basically, the stats show that Manning is throwing the ball down-the-field and Romo is throwing shorter passes.  But that’s not the case.
